Highlights have included beating all expected targets for media and influencer visits in European markets, achieving 46 trips in a six-month period. The team has also hosted a series of in-market visits from the Chair of the company and selected spokespeople, achieving brand profiles and building relationships with the high net worth target market, with a tangible impact on tax free sales.
